Baku has a swap deal in which the NIGC supplies gas to its exclave of Nakhichevan - isolated from the rest of Azerbaijan by neighbouring Armenia - and pays the NIGC back by pumping similar volumes to northern Iran.

A glance at the administration and organization staff shows the NIGC is comprised of eight directorates: Financial Affairs, Planning, Research and Technology, Human Resource Development Gas Distribution, Natural Gas Distribution Coordination and Supervision (Dispatching), Production Coordination and Supervision Coordination, and International Affairs.

The NIGC reversed its approval after the Supreme Court of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes ruled that the extension of the contract had not been approved in accordance with the requirements of the Tribes' Constitution.

Hamid Reza Araghi, NIGC managing director, "Based on the talks between Tehran and Muscat for developing the project, besides building the necessary infrastructure for exporting Iranian gas to Oman in the maritime sector, implementation of the land section of the project has been entrusted to Iran, and we are ready to implement the section.
